privilege. What's the obsession with privilege? It's driving me nuts. Not only didn't I have privilege,

I don't even know how to spell it. I think there's a D in there somewhere isn't there? If I told you

a story about a kid who grew up poor, a product of divorce, did a lot of dumpster diving,

sister ran away at age 14, welfare and food stamps. If I told you that kid was black, you'd go

well, yeah, that's because of systemic racism. But if I told you that kid was me, you'd go,

what? What are we doing? What happened to your privilege? The real white privilege isn't privilege.

It's knowing that nobody cares about you good or bad. No one's going to do anything for you because

you're white and no one's going to do anything against you because you're white. I'll give you an

example. When I get pulled over by cop, I assume it's either because I was speeding or the cops

and over a fissious jerk. But either way, my skin color doesn't play in. If I was black, I'm assuming

that it was driving while black or that he was profiling me. Let me give you another example of the

white privilege I'm talking about. The privilege of not obsessing over privilege. I had a neighbor

called the police on me during the day, during the middle of the week when I was doing a construction

project because our phone lines got crossed. So I picked up the phone to call Anowalt Lumber. My

neighbor picked up the phone. I said, oh, sorry. I think there's our lines got crossed somehow.

Next thing I know, a police cruiser rolled up to my home. Now, if I was black, I would have

no choice but to think that was racially motivated. I mean, why else would your neighbor call

the cops on you because your phone lines got crossed unless in fact you're black? And as a matter of

fact, I'm not even black and I think it was a racist incident. Do you get it? Whites do have

privilege, but not the privilege the race hustlers are selling. I don't think people really

drill down enough on this. I've had horrible things happen to me my entire life. I've had school

teachers and counselors that were horrible. I've had construction foreman who treated me like crap.
